The New Minnesota State Prison at East ST.
CIOud

Ex-Gov. Pilsbury, Col. Crooks, Henry
Poehler w. +. Temple and Andrew McCrea,
the commission appointed TO locate the
proposed second states prison, have come
to an unanimous decision in favor of East
st. Cloud. Twenty-Five towns put in APP
plications for the location, and all were
given a respectful hearing and were visited
by the commission. The arguments in
favor Of each town have been fully
reported. The first matter to decide
was whether the location should be
where granite, limestone or sandstone
abounded. Having been decided in favor
of granite, it was an easy matter to decide
upon East st. Cloud. In selecting East
st. Cloud the commission was influenced
BY the quality OF the granite it's abun.
dance, natural resources, healthfulness of
the waterpower, the probable demand for
the stone in the Eastern market. and the
facilities for shipping. The site selected
includes gao acres, part of which has been
secured. under the offer OF Coolia Il Free
man. 1t includes 240 acres, and is situat-
ed in Sherburne county, on the Mississippi
river, which alone separates it from St.
Cloud proper. 1t is crossed by the st.
Paul Northern Pacific railway, while the
Manitoba railway, running through st.
Cloud, will also furnish means ,oi expor.

NEW MODE OF LISTING PROPERTY.
BY Mr.. Hughes. for an act to prescribe mode
for listing, assessing, levying and collecting
taxes and for other purposes.
This bill does not materially enlarge the
enumeration of classes of property subject
to taxation, but more definitely prescribes
regulations necessary for securing e thor
ough listing of every thing which should be
taxed, and VIII practically add at least 25
per cent to taxable property which can be
reached IL also, more fully than anything
which the territory has previously had, pro-
vides for very full checks and accounting

The bill contains many provisions of the
